"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I want to thank everyone who participated in this discussion and helped me decide on a LV wallet.
I would not have come to this decision without you.
Thank you all

Hello,
I'm new here and I'm wondering if you can help me. I received the victorine wallet in empreinte leather last week for mother's day. While the wallet is perfect I noticed the brass button have some tiny hairline scratches or marks and does not look perfectly smooth. I'm not sure if this is normal so I wonder if you remember when you received your new wallet how was the condition of the button? Am I being too picky? I have not used it at all yet.

Hi there!
I don’t think you are being too picky, at that price it’s an understandable concern. If you are willing to wait for the store to re-open, there is a good chance you can find one without hairline scratches. However, this may be time consuming. I don’t recall any hairline scratches being present at the time of purchase. This is very common and will occur at some point. This happened with my LV and Chanel wallet. Congrats on your beautiful gift .

Hi! What do you think about this pochette? i think the logos don't match (at the corner). should I return it?
in addition, a data code is from January, one from April... :-/

Hi
Regarding to the date code I think LV have had a pile up of goods they could not ship to the stores due to Covid-19.
In general I don’t worry about the date code as long as the bag looks beautiful

Look's fine to me. Not sure why those issues matter to you...

I finally got my hands on one but it came unstuffed (despite me asking the SA to stuff it) and creased. I tried putting a shirt inside to help but the creases stay. Any recommendations on fixing this or should I just return?

even a shirt inside or an organizer showed the crease. It’s on both sides

 

[karman]

With use the creases will come out. But if the creases prevent using it then you can return. But no guarantees the next one won’t also have creases even if it comes stuffed.

Agree, the creases will work themselves out. Put your stuff in it and use it. I just love this bag. I have the mini HL and they are so cute. I would keep it, it’s a desirable bag.

Thank you! I only own the capuccines and Twist so those are more structured and I didn’t have that problem. This is my first monogrammed leather bag

Any tips for speeding up the unwrinkling process? Should I put something heavier in it to weigh it down? Lie it on one side then flip to store? Would leather conditioner speed up the process to get rid of creases?
The creases do bother me enough to where if they were to stay I wouldn’t want it

 

[Bumbles]

It is normal and fine to me. The ceases will work itself out with more use. It’s a great cute little bag and very hard to get, so you’re very lucky. If you are bothered by the ceases then return other use just accept it and with more wear it will disappear

 

[MyMelodyLV]

The creases will come out over time. It common to have creases due to storage and how the bag is shipped. My Speedy was the same. I just put my belongings in it and everything worked itself out. It just needs a little time to acclimate to its new shape.

Stuff it and let it sit for a couple of days.

Those are normal creases in the canvas. You can put it in the sun or use a hair dryer on low on that area of the canvas to warm up the vinyl coating to get the creases out. Nothing to worry about or a reason to return.

All the normal size speedy (25-35cm) are folded flat from post production to storage in store.
It looks to me your nano was folded the same way which is not a problem at all. nano speedy are sold with the strap tucked inside the bag so they usually don't stuff it. Creases will go over time though. You are on the good way with stuffing it with t-shirt.

DON'T use leather conditioner, these are coated canvas not leather and you sure don't wanna any leather conditioner to touch the vachetta by accident! Patience is all you need.

wow thank you for telling me!!! I thought it was leather, no wonder it felt different. It’s my first monogram so I am new at this.


Thanks everyone for your input!!! You guys made me feel so much better. I was so sad pulling it out of the box thinking this was an issue.
